Throughout his career the rapper has often been pictures performing on stage with his stomach hanging out. It might not be as toned as Drake or Chris Brown's, but Rozay was proud!

3. Rick Ross: "I've always been the fat black guy"

In a 2010 interview Rick Ross touched on hurtful comments that had been thrown at him in the past. "I was always the fat black dude with the cheap shoes on, i've always had thick skin" he told DR Jays. But Rozay said he didn't care, he could take a joke and he could give a joke.

4. In a recent interview Rick Ross claimed that he was doing no exercise back in the day.

Rick Ross recently told Capital XTRA's Tim Westwood: “You know, the most I used to do for exercise was stand up to count the money, you know what I’m saying?”
